    So laike I'm paying around $650 per class, and why not share it with all of you that want to learn C++ at a college level So here are some video lectures that you may or may not find useful.

    Things you should consider having before doing some C++
    Linux/Unix
    You should use g++ compiler and not rely on IDEs


    Topic #1 - Getting familiar with C++ (loops, arrays etc)
    Viewing CS162 Videos

    Topic #2 - Functions/Structures/External Data files
    Viewing CS162 Videos

    Topic #3 - Using classes
    Viewing CS162 Videos

    Topic #4A - pointers and dynamic memory
    Viewing CS162 Videos

    Topic #4B - Linear linked lists
    Viewing CS162 Videos

    Topic #5 - Recursion
    Viewing CS162 Videos

    Topic #6 - Arrays of arrays
    Viewing CS162 Videos

    Just some simple stuff

    Code:
    //This would be a program that prints out Hello world
    //save this file as hello.cpp
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
       cout << "Hello world" << endl;
    }
    how to open/create a txt file in linux/unix
    Code:
    nano "hello.cpp"
    pico "hello.cpp"
    how to compile on linux/unix
    Code:
    g++ hello.cpp
    how to run this on linux/unix
    Code:
    ./a.out hello.cpp
    If you guys want me to do a tutorial/example of anything ask and I'll see what I can do!

    Why using Linux when Windows offers tons of tools to program C++. Other than that, I'll take a look

    Because Windows is the epitome of bad operating systems.

    What?

    OS Statistics

    Doesn't matter how good the OS is, it's what it offers.

    No, it's about how good the OS is combined with what it offers. Popularity doesn't represent quality, being that Windows is dispatched with most computers nowadays and a lot of people don't want to mess around with different operating systems. Also we are heading off topic, so lets save it for a more appropriate thread :-).

    Linux/Unix is preferred because people actually learn the syntax. people that use IDE's most of the time rely on auto complete to code for them, and in a work setting Knowing how to code on Linux/Unix is more ideal because most of the time you'll be working on a VPS that requires knowledge of Linux/Unix. Also most of the compilers out there aren't 100% right/correct, and with the board of Computer Science, they say that the g++ compiler is universal and should be the go to compiler.

    Because lets say you used dev to compile your code and you went to use it with another compiler out there, it would probably spit out errors that you wouldn't normally get with dev and vise versa.

    nonetheless, it's only a recommendation because if you end up to take Computer Science in college that's what you'll be doing

    Per class as in per course. He doesn't pay $650 for each individual class he goes to. $650 for a semester of taking the course. Common sense could have helped you deduce that.
